Is being a liberal a bad thing in America?

No but being at the far looney left (and right for that matter) is.

but thats in the eye of the beholder.

Coulter is a nazi. republicans think shes a conservative.

And exactly what proof do you have that Coulter is a Nazi. You not liking her is not sufficient proof, btw.

The problem is the people who say the Democrats should be more "interventionist" or "strong on defense" are people who think Vietnam was great and the left was wrong for trying to stop the war there.

That's a rather broad claim you're making there. Someone who says that the Dems should be more interventionist might be, for example, saying that the US should stop governments that are commiting genocide against their own citizens from doing so and they may yet still think Iraq and Vietnam were bad ideas.

Yet I always hear about how the Democrats quit caring about national security after Vietnam, blah blah blah. That implies that they think Vietnam was good and anyone who wanted to completely end all intervention there is against national security. That's idiotic.

Or maybe it's simply giving a timeframe for when people think the Dems stopped caring about national security and not a comment on whether or not Vietnam was good or bad, did that ever occur to you?
